" at hand. The history Of all Kansas
towns is. that all lots in town pla, were
sold by the time a second railroad arrives,
and as we will have another road completed
in September the indications are that we
will have tremendous rush in short time.
We are willing to cooperate with you in
every way and you may rely upon it that
for some time to come all money received
from the sale of lots will be used in secur-
ing factories, mills, etc.
Respectfully yours,

thousand people were in at

supply of eatables that as many
more could have been fed, which
was due to the splendid manage
ment Of Esquire T. N. Sullivan.

essays were read by Misses Annie

other gentlemen in attendance.

site of Kanopolis and sufficient land adjoin.
ing for city Of one hundred and fifty to
two hundred thousand inhabitants. hence
it is to their interest to build up the city a.
rapidly as possible. They intend to make
this the leading city of Kansas, and believe
the best and quickest method is to encour-
age manufacturing, hence
Liberal and Substantial Aid will be
Given to those who will Estab-
lish Factories, Mills, etc.,
at Kanopolis.
The most prosperous States are those
where Agriculture and Manufacturing are
side by side. and Kansas, considering her
age, excels all other States in the Union in
agricultural produce. The time is soon
coming when she will surpass every other
State in this particular. The Raw Mate
rails, Coal, Wood, Iron, Lead, Zinc, etc.,
are near at hand, and hundreds Of articles
can be made as cheaply or cheaper here
than in Eastern States, and will bring far
better prices.
The State Of Kansas, although in its
infancy, raises
OVER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION
DOLLARS WORTH OF PRODUCE AN
NUALLY TO EXCHANGE FOR ALL
KINDS OF MANUFACTURED
GOODS.
This ui11 he 1al loC
many years, and factories located at Kano-
polls will be in the center of the best agri-
cultural State in the Union, and so much
closer to the market where their goods are
in great demand that the difference in
freight would be good profit.
"More people have become wealthy by
the increase in value Of real estate than in
any other way" Everybody admits there
will be a large city in Central Kansas.
Will it be the town where enterprise is un-
known, or will it be the town alive and
awake to its every interest? Reason and
judgment say the pushing. enterprising
town will win. Kanopolis is thoroughly
organized for constant, persistent effort,
and is backed by abundant capital. Wise
men invest where conditions are favorable
for rapid growth. Kanopolis excels all
other towns in this respect.
The Growth of Kansas.
In 1860 the true valuation Of the prop
erty in Kansas aggregated only S3I.327,.
600; in 1870 it aggregated SISS,Sez, 900,
and in 1880 it reached $4,000, 200.

KANOPOLIS

on the Union Pacific Railroad, the direct
route from Kansas City to Denver, 2rS miles
from Kansas City and 422 miles from Den-
yer. picturesquely situated. overlooking the
wooded banks Of Smoky Hill river, in the
center Of the grandest wheat, corn and
grass country in the world. destined to be the
great railroad, commercial and manufacture
ing center Of Kansas, because Of its natural
advantages, beautiful location and the many
railroads building toward it. The Kanop-
oils, Fort Scott and Wichita Railroad will
reach this town in September next, which
will put Kanopolis in close connection with
the immense coal, iron and timber fields OF
Southeastern Kansas, Southern Missouri and
Arkansas. Kanopolis is the only town in
Kansas that can boast of Railroads running
Scarcely one year old, it has 600 in
habitants. seven factories, and thirteen
stores, all doing well, and the finest and
larges, hotel in Central Kansas.
During 1886 fifty million dollars were in
vested in Kansas by men seeking homes
and those desiring to make valuable invest
ments. The greater part of this emigration
came to central Kansas and west of Kanop-
oils, and is an indication Of the vast posi-
bllities open to a city that will prove herself
worthy to handle the trade of Central and
Western Kansas.
Kanopolis the Coming City.
That Kanopolis is the coming city, and
will eventually prove to be the great GEN.
trail city of Kansas. no one can doubt who
knows the members Of the Kanorolis Land
Company. They are all business men Of
experience. accustomed to success, and
when they take hold Of an enterprise it is
to win. Annapolis will not wait years for
the natural increase Of population to bring
it into notice, as hundreds Of other cities
have done. She has natural advantages,
and railroads, which other places have had
to wait for. She is destined to be the future
metropolis of the grandest State in the
Union. and she intends the world shall
know it. More then this, the Kanopolis
Land Company will give land and extend
other aid to manufacturers to induce them
to locate here.
1t is estimated that 1880 emigrants are
settled in Kansas every day. The Union
Pacific and Santa Fe roads run crowded
trains. Five years ago man established
himself as a druggist in Kansas
town. His stock consisted of about SO
worth of patent medicines. He took Gov.
eminent land to the extent of half section
at mere nominal expense. A few weeks
ago he sold half Of his half section, which F!
cost him $3.50, for $4,000. He is now a
wealthy citizen in Aourishing city, and !
owns quarter section in town lots. Such
instances are by no means rare in Kansas.
Other towns are growing as this one grew.
